mployed. His protagonist, an ex-sol- dier, falls in with a prostitute, who final- ly kills herself after an unsuccessful at- tempt to save up enough money for them to emigrate to South America and have a chance at life. Arfelli's style is blunt, shows what IS called the Amer- ican Influence, and has offended the critics His hook is the most talked-of nove] in intelligent circles here. Stran o-e as is the fact that several b Italian prizes are given by cities, it is even stran aer that the oldest and most b coveted one is awarded by the friv- olous, unintellectual bathing-beach town of Viareggio. It was won last year by U go Moretti, with his novel "Vento Caldo" ("Hot Wind"). The hook is deeper than the actions it relates, be- cause of the author's thesis that human destiny is the result of an endless series of coincidences, which man puts up with out of his necessIty to exist. ThIs theme underlies Moretti's bitter, mov- ing story of a young, impoverished ex-Partisan painter in Rome who falls in love with a well-to-do girl. He first sees her in a public garden, and she flirts more with his love than with him, remains out of reach, and, by a series of coincidences, shapes and at the same time mars his life. In the critics' opinion, Moretti's style IS ultra-American; that is to say, it IS a blend of talented writ- ing and the coa.rse words that used to be heard but not seen. Like the post- war Italian movies of consequence, the novels have turned to neo-realism, with truth taking the place of a happier end- Ing. T HE middle-of-the-road Demo- Christian government IS now trot- ting halfway through its four-year course, whIch runs untIl the 1952 elec- tions. It is already being said that the Demo-Christians, although now firmly in the saddle, will then be overthrown at the polls by the power that elected them in 1948-the Church. Certain elements in the] esuit order, always the most intellectual, worldly, and militant of the Church brains, are reportedly leading a Vatican Left Wing It should be noted that the Demos already have three wings-the major Center Wing, led by Alcide de Gasperi; the minor Left WIng, led by the Chamber of Deputies President Giovanni Gronchi; and what is called the Left Left Wing, a minor group led by Giuseppe Dossetti, a sort of Christian Socialist who, it seems, cannot be a regular Socialist be- cause Socialists are anti-Church, which he definItely is not. Dossetti and his doz- en or more followers are both feared ,\,' :;' '" . ^ ,. ..\ Jf'", "-- . . -" , , n.\ ... a\\t v .
